The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.

Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life contemplation meditation.

California must be all American or all Chinese. We are resolved that it shall be American and are prepared to make it so. May we not rely upon your sympathy and assistance?

My hope is that the Chinese government will come to realise that it is futile to repress free speech and that contrary to what they believe a regime's strength rests not its suppression of a plurality of opinions and ideas but in its capacity and willingness to encourage them.

The Chinese government is quickly losing its ideological legitimacy maintain its rule with force but cannot draw strength from the ideology of Marx and Mao.

If we all say the same thing then I think the government has to listen. But because no one is saying it I become singled out even though what I'm saying is common sense. It's very essential values that we all have to protect. But in Chinese society people are giving up on protecting these values.

I meant that the Chinese people are not aware of their own entrapment. They believe they live in a free society but don't realize how much they are being monitored and controlled how much the information they receive is restricted and warped until they step out of line that is and feel the heavy hand of the state fall on them.

For me I think the Lord wanted me to win to put a smile on Chinese people's faces.

And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears.

Math and science fields are not the only areas where we see the United States lagging behind. Less than 1 percent of American high school students study the critical foreign languages of Arabic Chinese Japanese Korean or Russian combined.

Traditional academic science describes human beings as highly developed animals and biological thinking machines. We appear to be Newtonian objects made of atoms molecules cells tissues and organs.

Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture and that's everywhere around the world.

Romantic music really stirs my soul. And of course I love Chinese music it makes me feel closer to home.

My music is bejewelled it's colourful it's romantic it shines.
